Do you want to solve environmental challenges and make a difference in the world? Do you want to make a positive impact on managing natural resources sustainably? Do you want to make the outdoors accessible to everyone in our community?
So do we. Let's go outside and get our hands dirty.
We'll take you beyond the classroom and into the forest for field-based, experiential learning that you'll never forget. The Forest & Natural Resource Management (FNRM) major at the University of Minnesota is perfect for anyone interested in forestry, natural resources, conservation, parks and recreation, urban green space, and solving environmental problems big and small. We're committed to helping our students and we offer scholarships to all incoming students in the FNRM major. We're the only four-year program in Minnesota accredited by the Society of American Foresters. Our one-of-a-kind field sessions, expert faculty, small class sizes, and big reputation will help you develop the skills and relationships to grow and make a positive impact.
